This action is taken to ensure uninterrupted critical services, as HAMILTON ALLIANCE, INC. is the incumbent provider. This notice is for informational purposes only; no proposals or expressions of interest from other vendors will be considered.
Scope of Work
The requirement includes comprehensive municipal solid waste collection, transportation, disposal, and associated recycling services.

Rationale for Sole Source
The VA has determined that a sole source award to HAMILTON ALLIANCE, INC. is necessary due to the critical nature and high volume of waste generated, requiring near-daily collection. Any interruption in service would quickly lead to overflowing waste, posing immediate infection control, public health, and regulatory compliance concerns within the hospital environment. The incumbent's existing contract ends immediately before the new period, making uninterrupted service essential. This action is authorized under 38 U.S.C. 8127(b) and (c) and VAAR 819.7008. The VA will re-evaluate requirements and acquisition strategy after this one-year period.
Informational Notice Only
This notice serves solely to comply with synopsis requirements. It is not a request for quotations or proposals, and no solicitation will be issued. The Government will not consider or evaluate statements of capability or proposals from other vendors. The VA will proceed with the sole source award to HAMILTON ALLIANCE, INC. unless agency needs change.
